While many of us are off for Memorial Day, you can head to the stores and malls.

What you won’t be doing is going to court, serving on a jury, reading a book in an air-conditioned library or collecting your mail on Monday, May 27. These services observe the holiday.

Here’s what is open, closed or running differently on Memorial Day.
